This is my default procedure, but every so often the knife slips when I'm removing it and I end up slicing into the cable jacket itself. Usually no big deal; cut it and pop on a new connector, but if it's on the antenna end it's not so trivial.

From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net <elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net> On Behalf Of Dave ColeI always use Scotch 130, (self fusing tape), first, then Scotch 88.  I cut the tape down the long axis, and it opes up like a peanut, leaving no residue or old tape.
